Ahead of their Euro 2025 semi-final match on Tuesday, the England women's national football team demonstrated their continued support for a teammate, Carter, by standing united during the pre-match ceremonies. While the Lionesses had previously decided to discontinue taking the knee, a gesture against racism and discrimination, the players chose to stand together as a team. Simultaneously, the substitutes showed solidarity by linking arms along the touchline. This collective action served as a powerful statement of unity and support within the squad.
